Why not take our 27th, draft a player and take a swing? We don't need to expedite the arrival of more players into the NHL. Draft, develop.

In your scenario a young player who has made the NHL is worth less than one who might. And I really don't see any single player getting the Flames further up in the standings over the next two years. They have a good 2C I. Kadri and they are at the bottom. And in my scenario they are also getting rid of Kadri, Andersson, Coleman etc. no 20 year old is making up for that loss
